Episode 17: Not All Who Wander Are Lost — Becoming A Digital Nomad [Featuring Kym Tolson]

During this episode, I speak with Kym Tolson, owner of the Traveling Therapist and Insurance Billing For Telehealth Professionals.Travel and entrepreneurship often go hand-in-hand. Most of us start our own businesses to have more free time, flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to work from "anywhere."I love traveling, and it's a major reason that I decided that small business ownership was for me.Kym and I talk about:How to start traveling more while maintaining your businessHow I take 12-16 weeks off/yearKym's journey into becoming a digital nomadBilling insurance and requirements for out of state practiceMeet Kym Tolson, LCSW, CSAC:I'm a traveling therapist, working on living all throughout the country and working remotely. First stop: Hollywood, Florida, right outside Miami. Then COVID hit. Ugh. Everything shut down. We couldn't travel. Dreams on hold! Luckily, Miami is a pretty great place to be stuck during a pandemic.During the COVID lockdowns, I had a lot of time to work on my side-hustle, helping therapists learn how to bill insurance in their private practices.I still saw my clients, but I also continued to perfect my course, "DIY Insurance Billing for Private Practice."I also created a supportive membership, Bill Like A Boss, for therapists who are billing insurance in their private practices.Also, check out The Traveling Therapist Course.–––––––––––––––––––––🎙️Listen to more episodes of the Neurodivergent Entrepreneur Podcast🎙️Spotify: https://ndpod.org/Spotify🎙️Apple: https://ndpod.org/Apple-Podcast🎙️ YouTube: https://ndpod.org/YouTube🧠 Neurodivergent Entrepreneur Freebie Vault: https://ndpod.org/Freebie-Vault✈️ Learn about Retreats🗨️ Join the free Empowered Escape FB Community–––––––––––––––––––––Thanks to Our Sponsors: The Receptionist for iPad!✨ The Receptionist for iPadThanks to The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.The Receptionist for iPad is a HIPAA-ready digital check-in system that eliminates the need to walk back and forth from your office to the waiting room to see if your next appointment has arrived.
